Hi Birders,
Trevor Quested's report of Fuscous Honeyeaters in Brisbane Waters National Park, on the NSW Central Coast feeding in a flowering Scribbly Gum in coastal heath on Sunday 16 July 2000 is unusual but not unexpected. This bird is an irregular visitor to the Central Coast in winter where it may occasionally been seen feeding in the flowering Spotted Gum and Swamp Mahogany. In the past 12 years it has been seen in heath at Munmorah SRA, in Scribby Gum heath at Mangrove Mountain, in flowering Spotted Gum near Jilliby and in flowering Swamp Mahogany & Cabbage Gum Eucalyptus ampiphloia in Cockle Bay Nature Reserve, adjacent to the tall heaths  and woodlands of Bouddi National Park.
In my early banding days with Harry Battam & Bill Lane, in the Banksia ericifolia heathlands, at a site 7 km west of Fairy Meadow, small numbers were seen annually in winter amongst the larger flocks of White-naped and Yellow-faced Honeyeaters that moved through that area.
